Cypress
ZeroDrop works with Cypress for end-to-end email testing. No Docker, no SMTP server, no mocking.Installation
Setup
Cypress runs your spec files in the browser. There, ZeroDrop’s client can’t readZERODROP_API_KEY, and the browser blocks requests to the ZeroDrop API because it’s on another origin. So run the client in Cypress’s Node process and call it from your specs with cy.task:
cy.task('waitForEmail') fails the test with the client’s error message.
Email verification
OTP verification
Magic link verification
In GitHub Actions
Without an API key, one sender can reach only 5 different inboxes a day, and each test above uses its own inbox. Get a free key at zerodrop.dev/keys, save it as the repository secretZERODROP_API_KEY, and pass it to the step that runs Cypress:
newInbox task makes a fresh inbox for each test, so you don’t need the setup-zerodrop action here. Inbox names then start with your key’s prefix, and only your key can read them.
